My week in riding the bike: I was under the weather after a few long, in-person work days last week. Improving early this week, I started up slow but built to feeling really good for this morning’s dawnbreaker HIIT and Hills thumper.

Over at the datablog, I wrote up some details on producing my 2024 workout summary from Peloton and Apple Health data. This was a fun little project to tinker through over my holiday break.

First ride of the year. One down.

My weekly indoor rides at the old gym used to be my favorite thing each week, my 5am community. I hesitated on getting an indoor bike for such a long time and I’m happy I finally went for it.

This morning’s 5am ride was a little bit of a suffer spin. I rarely hit 800+ cals, and was feeling every single one of them today. I try to carry that depth of focus and determination into my work day, but it’s a struggle.
